South African business executive Sinenjabulo “Sine” Zungu-Ntuli drew attention from fans after sharing photos of herself spending time with AmaZulu FC players on the pitch.

In an Instagram post published on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Zungu-Ntuli shared a light-hearted caption about food and the team’s diet. “Uphuthu? Sorry. We're currently on diet” she wrote.

The photos offered followers a glimpse of Zungu-Ntuli alongside the players, connecting her executive role at the club with its on-field environment.

Fans reacted to the post, which combined a moment with the team and a playful reference to the players’ eating plans.

Zungu-Ntuli is the chief executive officer of AmaZulu Football Club and the chief marketing officer of Zungu Investments Company.

She was appointed CEO of the Durban-based club in June 2021, making history as the youngest female chief executive of a Premier Soccer League club in South Africa.

Her leadership role places her at the centre of the club’s business and organisational operations, while her marketing position at Zungu Investments Company reflects her broader work in the corporate sector.

The Instagram post showed a more informal side of her involvement with AmaZulu, as she spent time with players on the pitch.

The caption’s mention of “Uphuthu,” a traditional South African maize-based dish, gave the post a humorous tone.

By adding that they were “currently on diet,” Zungu-Ntuli framed the moment as a playful exchange about food and fitness. The green heart emoji also echoed AmaZulu’s team colour.

The post arrived as fans continue to follow the club both on and off the field.

Social media updates from club figures can offer supporters a closer look at team life, and Zungu-Ntuli’s photos gave them a view of her interacting with the players outside the formal setting of executive duties.

Since taking on the CEO role, Zungu-Ntuli has remained a prominent figure in South African football administration.

Her appointment was notable in a league where senior executive roles have traditionally been held by men. At the time, her position as the youngest woman to lead a PSL club marked a significant milestone.

Her responsibilities span leadership at AmaZulu and marketing at the investment company, giving her experience across both sport and business.

The latest post, however, focused on a relaxed moment with the squad rather than a corporate announcement or club statement.

Fans responding to the photos appeared to enjoy the team-focused update and its joking caption.

The brief message kept the attention on the players, their time with the CEO and the diet reference, without offering further details about the occasion.
